Guy with Gun Outside Obama Townhall

[letsgojmo]

We have the right to bare arms. Its called the constitution.

[kamesen420]

Im amazed that people dont know their rights and what the law actually says. "Emergency Injunction"? Of his rights? what an idiot

[Scrap5000]

Wow, so the guy had a gun and didn't shoot anyone???!!! How is that possible??? You always hear the libs screaming about how guns kill people!! Guns kill people!!!

Stupid ass liberals!

[BeantownJim]

Thank God for the 2nd Amendment

[keepingitsimple1]

People in New York and DC can't understand why they couldn't arrest this man. It's because he wasn't breaking THE LAW.  The second amendment hasn't been repealed yet. But let's keep our eye on OBama...you never know...

[SendMoreCops666]

america fuck yeah!

he has every right to do as he wishes...

and it doesnt matter if he should or shouldn't do anything.

he is expressing true passion for a belief

america fuck yeah!

[bowhunterjohn63]

Hey, if he is a law abiding citizen, he should not have his rights upheld.

??

Obama's numbers are polling because people are sobering up and realizing what they did November of 2008.

[dougmanjones]

Some people don't realize that just because you CAN do something, doesn't mean you SHOULD.

[sadseemom]

America is the land of freedom. America FUCK YEAH!

[fromthe209]

youtube the interview!

[silverhawks]

Everyone should be paying close attention to what Sustainablehome just said, instead of arguing with each other...great proof that the mainstream media does nothing but divide America. This is a blatant government propaganda piece designed to set us at each other's throats.

[sustainablehome]

At :35 and on ... take a look at his ear.  Notice something the average American protester doesn't wear?

[TorontoCanuck1978]

Dude i never noticed the supposed protestor was wearing a wire. Nice call.

[DillonX]

Beck on TV again today spewing his fear-mongering & message of constant hatred.

How long before SOMEONE IS DEAD because of Beck's encouragement?

[DontTreadOnMeVa]

Sic Semper Tyrannis

[noone120000]

You shouldn't be afraid of the guy who shows the gun. the guy who is smart enough with bad intentions will hide this weapon to get close enough to his or her target.

[lenny380]

so what-- lots of people have guns -they are still legal

[nukarr]

notice both reporters are knee shaking black guys

[mssedmebich]

My god! the next thing you know he'll be exercising he freedom of speach rights

[ihatebobama]

From my cold dead hands!

[musiciankara]

what wouda happened 10-20guys with guns turned up.?all legal

[musiciankara]

what woulda happened if the man was a muslim or the president was Bush?

[christian1600]

carlos watson is afucking idiot

[SICKCHICANO]

its called constitutional right dumb ass, private property. beaware from the ones hiding thier guns jack ass.

[DillonX]

ha - New Hampshire has nothing on us down in Texas

Our legislature wants our kids to tote guns to their college classes.

[lokiisaposer]

He needs to get rid of the funky nylon drop leg and get him a nice leather Galco

[CannibalsCookpot]

I am amazed! How can someone exercize thier legal Constitutional Right like that, right there in front of everyone? That's exactly why we need gun control, some people are just crazy and may begin to think they have God given rights and freedoms, protected by a CONSTITUTION.

He has probably been accosted by ACORN thugs in the past and wants to be protected.

[mssedmebich]

how is this a story in NH?

[farmersfuel]

I carry a pistol every day. I just dont let the rat-brained liberal apes that I would protect with it if something bad happened know that I have it. The ass-munchers on MSLSD almost fainted because that citizen had a firearm. What a bunch of pussies!

[rootsxrocks]

This Guy is a true Hero. Thank god for men like him taking a stand for Liberty and freedom that we seem to take for granted

[obmax1212]

That gun is not registered. NH doesn't register firearms.

[Denomolise]

This may come as a surprise to some of you but most of the people in the NRA are police and military, you should be careful about violating the rights of those who protect you.

[Denomolise]

this man is just exorcising his rights, more people should have this man's courage.

[waldowin]

So he is purging himself of his own rights? Having them cast out?

[toneub]

stupid americans...

[DillonX]

Beck is encouraging the loony guys...

Someone is gonna be killed!

[jp7464]

That man was there in support of his 2nd amendment rights, to show Obama, and the world, that responsible people have the right to bare arms.

[SomRandomUserName]

jp7464: Yes, we all should have the right to bare arms! It's healthy and gives our arms a nice sun tan!

[mrxt500]

As a British citizen I think it's fantastic that some of your states allow carrying of unconcealed weapons. It is extremely encouraging that the lawmakers consider the populace intelligent and responsible enough to handle that kind of responsibility.

In this case though, I think the gentleman could have been instructed by an officer of the law to carry the gun in a way that it could not be seen or easily taken off him. It would be the gun carrier's obligation to carry out this request.

[jake30102]

Msnbc your a Joke. Give me a break a law abiting citizen has a regestered gun and nothing bad happend. Thats not news at all. Way to single out an individual who is doing nothing wrong. I am tired of news organizations trying to fight the majority of americans. Nothing that the obama administration has passed, has been approved on a whole by the american people wake up this is not news its propaganda. Damn Demorotzis.

[rootsxrocks]

Fucking idiot media has no conception of the freedoms and rights that our society was founded on. Absolute proof of fearmongering and sensationalism.

[1kel40b]

to all of you pussies that dont like freedom and the constitution; get the fuck out of our country. i knew the msm would be all over this spewing their lies and propagada. fuck you. DONT TREAD ON ME!

[DillonX]

Here in Texas, it's legal for a private citizen to carry a gun into a school.

Therefore if the President were speaking in a school, would a person be within his legal rights to have the gun in that room?

[tinghaling]

He has to be an undercover cop

He's wearing an ear-piece

[Rimibe]

If he was under cover, it would be concealed.

[jp7464]

I never noticed that until I read your comment, I went back and watched it again and sure enough, he's wearing a ear piece with a wire going down the back of his shirt like the FBI wear. Now what would a "common" citizen be wearing that for? I bet he's a plant by the cops just so the media could have a big fake story to tell the masses.

[fisharmor]

What makes him a nut? The media retards and the government overlords were scared to death of this man. That's the whole point of the 2nd Amendment. The government needs to be constantly terrified of us nuts who have deluded ourselves into thinking we're living in a free country.

[DontTreadOnMeVa]

Som, A right and the rule of law protects people like this man and other citizens from having there rights infringed by people like you. Just because you dont aprove does not matter. You can cry, you can whine, at the time time those of us that agree will cheer! I opencarry at political evens, at my state capital, and even in my representatives offices! *shocking, huh!*

Wile I love the guys sign, I would have used my state motto!

Sic Semper Tyrannis!

[unrealy2k]

"This historic president" Come on people treat him as a human, its not like the second coming of Christ or is it. God forbid the guy has a gun secret service has 1000s seems fair.

[Janszler]

Only in america....

[gfreeman556]

It's legal, he didn't threaten anyone, so fuck the nanny state.

[snappa52]

ooh! a guy has a gun! its called the 2nd amendment freak

[packetscan]

It's Legal, end of story.

[SomRandomUserName]

It should also be pointed out that the full quote on his sign actually goes "The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants." He's basically openly threatening to kill himself and the president, whom he would probably consider to be a tyrant.

[DontTreadOnMeVa]

Som, I will agree with you on one thing, The guy is a patriot. A right unexercised is a right lost. This man was helping protect our rights both by exercising his first and his second amendment rights. Given the chance I would have been happy to opencarry next to him. Infact, this might get your panties in a real bunch. I have opencarried in my state capital with 5-600 other citizens for 'lobby day'. My state we can opencarry in the capital and go door to door talking with our reps. :P

[SomRandomUserName]

DontTreadOnMeVa:

You're wrong on both counts. He's not a patriot, he's a nut, and I didn't "get my panties in a real bunch". I'm pretty sure I don't even wear panties at the moment.

In fact, there is nothing wrong with exercising your second amendment rights and openly carrying a gun. There is, however, something wrong with threatening to assassinate a president simply because you disagree on freaking healthcare, of all things. That doesn't make you a patriot, it makes you a moron.

[DontTreadOnMeVa]

lol, he did not threatened and the man is a patriot. The fact that your a whiny scared to death lib is not his or my problem. The man exercised his rights and broke no law. If he really wanted to harm, he would have not been carrying 'opencarry'. The fact your a afraid of law abiding citizens that you don't agree with is worth than moronic...is just sad.

I opencarry at my state capital, I opencarry at tea parties, I also opencarry at dinner out and just about everywhere else.

[SomRandomUserName]

DontTreadOnMeVa: FIrst of all, I would suggest you learn proper English. That makes it easer for people to understand the points you're trying to make. Many of your sentences make no sense in any language I know. Second, I'm neither scared to death, nor a "lib". Third, in addition to learning to write, reading is also a useful skill. As I have already said, I have nothing against people who openly carry guns. The implicit threat on his sign is the problem. Have a nice day, sir.

[rootsxrocks]

How do you determine that a threat was made?

[SomRandomUserName]

rootsxrocks: The Jefferson quote on the sign is abbreviated. It goes "The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the Blood of Patriots and tyrants." This is an implicit threat. The guy holding the sign sees himself as a patriot, and the president as a tyrant, and thus feels justified (or even obligated) to kill the president in order to protect liberty.

[rootsxrocks]

so if I have a condom in my pocket that means I am going to fuck Hillary? the guy made it clear that a gun was a defencive tool and not an offencive one.

[mssedmebich]

I'm going to have nightmeres for you dude.

[farmersfuel]

Thanks for the eloquent, informative, thought provoking comment. You have made a great contribution to our discussion. I bet you went to a government school, didn't you?

[mssedmebich]

Farmerfuel. blah blah freakin blah!

[SomRandomUserName]

rootsxrocks: No. Did you actually read even a single word I have just written? The threat is not the gun per se, it's the sign in combination with the gun.

[rootsxrocks]

yes I read what you said, the sign first of all did not include the entire quote that you used, but more importantly it is the ideology of the poetic statement not the literal interpretation, a death to tyrants can be an impeachment,taking arms against the goverment is a last resort. I pray that we never have to go there.

[SomRandomUserName]

I guess we can at least agree on that.

[rootsxrocks]

your missing the point, we still have rights and expressing them is not against the law. the reason we must maintain our second amendment right to bear arms is that we are never at the mercy of a tyranny and the citizens maintain a control over their governor's,we the people must keep the leash and that leash boils down to the means to physically remove if the only means that will remedy the situation ,read some history and find what happens with absolute power over an unarmed populace.

[SomRandomUserName]

I never said I was against the second amendment, or even against allowing people to openly carry arms.

[rootsxrocks]

then I don't see what your problem is, no threat was made the man was compleatly leagal and within his rights to be there and have his weapon. what about those that have a concealed weapon permit, you never seen them so were they less of a threat because they didn't have a poster ? I think not. I am glad we have real men that take the risk of arrest and due process to give others eduacation and encouragment to maintain our precious libertys and right to privacy.

[SomRandomUserName]

I think the difference between us is in how we interpret the sign. You think his intention was to stand there to protect his right to carry a gun, using the Jefferson quote to support that right. I interpret the quote as an implied threat to the current president, equating him with a tyrant. Yours is definitely a valid interpretation; we won't know until somebody asks him.

[rootsxrocks]

AHHH your right on the distinction but I had heard him in this aggresive interveiw. watch?v=QGUfsfJTX88

[SomRandomUserName]

Okay, that explains it. Given what he says, his main intention was to stand there for his right to carry a gun, and while I disagree with many of his other points, I agree with this, and it seems to have been his main intention. Your interpretation was correct.

[rootsxrocks]

"Your interpretation was correct"

.ahh I never tire of hearing that, thank you for a civil and productive debate.

[SomRandomUserName]

Likewise. I suspect this may have been one of the first productive debates to ever occur on youtube. We should receive some kind of award.

[PlanetDip]

Don't you think the secret service knows about the laws in New Hampshire ? No wonder Kennedy is dead right now.

[nukarr]

sharp eye that sign is a threat it invokes violent speech

[rootsxrocks]

Oh my don't let the big loud words get me GIVE ME LIBERTY OR DEATH has such a rich and deep complicated meaning, it is the founding stone on which all of our inalienable rights rest. the second ammendment only clarifies a few of those inaliable rights that all mankind has by the nature of his free will. they are by no means finite in there scope, and any entity that tramples upon them should threatened as it is an act of agression in itself.

[hydin1]

God bless America, Ya that's right you commie here in America we have the right to keep and bear arm, that's why these socialist bastards haven't try to use force to implement this socialist take over.

[bizskithead]

omg its a gun .. you should be worried about all the tazers out there lol meant to give you a hi from old sparky

[fsprebel]

It's legal to open carry in NH, what is the big deal? Nothing illegal went down. I'm a democrat and I'm just laughing about how MSNBC flips out over something so trivial. The guy was holding a sign while carrying a gun, which is common place up here. I don't even think twice when I see someone open carrying. Criminals don't open carry, everyone knows that.

[MrGovtCheese]

I don't see what the big deal is, and I'm a liberal democrat.

He has a legal right to carry it there on private property. But don't think for a moment that snipers in the area don't have a bead on his head and would blow it clean off if he pulled it out and pointed it in the direction of the president.

[nitrusoxyde]

Agreed. He wasn't even close to the president - this is bad journalism\ because its painting a picture of something that isn't likely true.

[CarryANationIII]

If a liberal had come to a Bush rally with the exact same sign in 2002, armed with a legal concealed weapon, he would have been shot by the Secret Service and FOX news would have called him a terrorists. And you would have cheered.

Look at that guy - you think this is some random dude "exercising" his rights, not another shill PR stunt you are falling for? Get your head out of your ass dittohead.

[mssedmebich]

Carrynation. Do you even know what a dittohead is?

[captquest1]

this wont' be legal too much longer. O is working on that as we speak.

[mattshu1]

This is the United States, we have a right to bare arms. What is MSNBC thinking? The must be communist. Give all power to the government, they will take care of us. lol No wonder they get the least amount of viewers of any station.

Yell all you want Chris Matthews, no one is listening faggot.

[loupremo]

i was in the army in ky and when President Bush came to our town the secret service took military issued rifles away from u.s. soldiers. the fact that this guy is anywhere near the location of a presidential event is ridiculous. I don't give a flying Fuck about this law.

[DontTreadOnMeVa]

You can not give a F or you can...makes no difference to me. His guy was not breaking the law, and he was within his rights. Many of our fellow Americans have died to secure and protect those rights. I find it sad that someone that has served in the military would be so quick to demean our rights.

[loupremo]

i repeat bush's security took rifles from military men & woman when he came to town? yet, for some reason this clown in NH can have a gun within feet of where the president is going to be? and where do you draw the line? this day there was just ONE guy with an unconcealed gun, tomorrow 20 people might get the idea that they should get a bunch of their right wing buddies and they should all tote their unconcealed guns the next presidential town hall meeting. that could turn out seriously ugly..

[mssedmebich]

Loup. You will never know how many law abiding people have carried guns around presidents because nothing happened when law abiding people did it.

[maleficdog]

Even though the guy has no intent of shooting at the president, someone with bad intentions could steal it and use his newfound weapons to harm the President. It is not a question of if the guy has the right to bare arm or not, it is a matter of National Security.

[DontTreadOnMeVa]

...as could happen with security. As someone that opencarries, I say good luck taking my firearm...you will need it. ....and I hope you have heath care.

[bizskithead]

ur a mess, if someone wanted to kill him they would bring there own gun ......you are reaching . newfownd weapon ,are you serious . you are arguing the fact that this guy has no intention , but a innocent person in the crowd with no gun does have intention with the innocent guys gun . national security .... are you ok

[scottiesan]

jhkghkghjf

[saint0link]

I thought it was America, is that some communist country??

[phys1c5]

Gentlemen, this is IRL Trolling at its best.

[mynihilism]

Its MSNBC I expect them to blow it out of proportion. Its perfectly legal for him to carry it, may not be the smartest time to open carry with the president coming. None the less he is exercising his state and constitutional right.

Who is the retard reporter that was asking about a lawyer and injunction?

I am part of the angry mob and according to Pelosi the un-American crowd.

[GJB7733]

OMG! A GUN!

Guns are icky!

/sarcasm

This guy rocks. Let's water that tree.

[sbyers77]

"You mean a guy has a GUN?! There are concerns for every presidents safety but CERTAINLY this historic president."

Why don't you just come out and say you're afraid of a white guy offing the president instead of trying to sugar-coat it?

Also its hilarious the comment about lawyers passing an "emergency injunction" - yep, lets suspend our constitutional rights. AWESOME!

[jas16899]

2nd Amendment rights?!? WHO GAVE HIM THAT!?

[steve2071]

Hoplophobes make me sick.

[ind0ctr1n3]

The US is always guarenteed for hilarity. Is the majority of you people honestly stupid enough to believe the things they're saying about 'Obamacare'? Honestly, I hope you keep the system you have now, the less Americans around the better xD

[mattshu1]

Sadly there are more idiots than smart folks in America, judging from the election results.

[Johnajohn]

ΜΟΛΩΝ ΛΑΒΕ!

[SnowmnsZR2]

The guy carrying that gun is full of win! I would do the exact same he did!

[BigTony413]

The guy was breaking NO laws!

He is a true patriot!

The Liberal Media is poison to Americans.

Wake Up America!

[vanji611]

The man in the video with the firearm is a patriot.

[bfbabine]

Live Free or Die!

Come on guys, what do you expect from MSNBC? Only police officers, soldiers, & politician's body guards should have guns. Not the common folk.

[Rafflersauce]

onoes everyone panic, he has a gun

[Ironmaker4]

Libtards are such pussies!!!!

[decoder111]

Fire all these idiots, I want real news..

[BMEBME]

Stupid liberals piss themselves at the sight of a gun in the hands of a law-abiding citizen yet again.

Typical for those pussies.

[walkingindec45]

yeah hes just BEGGING for attention.

He wants gun to get confiscated so he can cry about the "THE KENYAN TAKING HIS GUN".

[ianalex10]

Run for the hills, he has a gun..

[PathogensQuest]

And now we know who has the smallest dick in New Hampshire. Most guys don't make it that obvious.

[SpYdeRv1o]

What a load of a bull.. The news is shit now-a-days.

[balloffuzz]

just because it's legal doesn't mean it isn't stupid.

[58694003]

Can we make it legal for everyone to carry grenades and nerve gas as well? /sarcasm.

I don't understand libertarians, they live in a utopian fantasy world in my opinion!

[palerider2029]

The sad thing is that this guy probably has a sniper rifle trained on him for doing something perfectly legal. He has enough balls to exercise his legal rights even when the Gov. and Media want to make us afraid to do the same. Bravo.

[0612Devil]

What a bunch of dumb bastards... Keep trying to regulate their rights fuck face, your rights may be next...

[eodrulez]

What part of LEGAL does he not understand

[op6203]

Nice... one reporter says "it's legal" and the other one wants lawyers to file some emergency injunction to stop the scary man with a gun. Typical liberals. Don't these idiots realize that if this guy wanted to harm the prez, he'd have that gun concealed and would try to blend into the crowd.

[FairMindedWatcher]

Douchebag MSNBC host should try reading the legal code. This guy is a true patriot for exercising his constitutional and state rights when it isn't popular.

And let me take a wild guess here, no one got hurt because of it.

[sel36]

FUAROCK!!!!!!!!!!!!

[bcastine1975]

MSNBC is the stupidest media outlet plan and simple. And to insinuate that this is a more dire situation due to the presidents "race" is downright shameful. This guy is a complete tool bag, and should be fired on the spot simply for being out of touch with anything outside NYC.

[atomatwelve]

You prefer Fox News?

[piracymatters]

@ :35 it is revealed that he is secret service (look in his ear)
